PREPARE FOR THEM

Few of our citizens have any idea of the
immense number of people who will come
to Wichita this fall and winter. True,
some of our business men receive letters
and papers from the east, the north and the
south almost daily containing announce
ments of the departure of friends and &C
ouaintances and the intentions of others to
come to Wichita for the purpose of locat-
ing and engaging in business. This office
is often fairly deluged with inquiries from
every quarter concerning the general out
look for the city and for particular inter
ests embracing every line of commercial,
manufacturing and industrial enterprise,
more than any one person could reply to
were he to do nothing else
From all these sources we get the posi-
tive information that the number of people
We may expect to come to Wichita with
the intention of becoming identified with
the city's interests, business and otherwise,
is going to be greater than ever before dur
ing any one season. They are coming
singly, in squads, In companies, In excur-
sions, any way and every way; but they
are coming In multitudes greater than the
most of our citizens believe =
We thus briefly present these facts that
our people may know and appreciate them.
Such is the reputation of this place and
such Is its name and Its fame abroad that,
in connection with it. even the impossible
is expected to be made the possible.
Many, very many of these people will
bring their families with them and
come expecting TO take per
manent residence at once. The
only question Of concern to the citizens of
the city is for the present welfare of the
new corners. Men who come alone can
find quarter. In the hotels and boarding
houses, and II need be, In private families,
but families will require residences. A
large number who came in the spring and
early summer made for the time being
homes In tents, but tents Will not answer
for the winter, women and children must
have houses to live In, and the houses will
have to be built, for notwithstanding there
have been hundreds and hundreds of resi-.
dences erected this year they have been
occupied as rapidly as completed and todsy
there are no vacant houses In the city.
We throw out these fscts and hints for the
benefit Of those who are directly interested
and engaged building enterprises Fore
warned Is forearned, and we have under
stated the situation rather than the contrary.
The number Of new comen VIII be larger
even than the article has endeavored 70 IN
dictate.

WICHITA's BOOM ABROAD.

Way back east, In the heart of the an
thracite coal regions of Pennsylvania, we
find the following in the Wilkesbarre
Record:
The influence and power Of printers ink
cannot be gainsayed 1t frequently makes
something out of nothing, and In town
like WilResbarre where the natural re.
sources are to be envied, the possibilities Of
judicious advertising are vast when
properly directed. The remarka
bic growth of Wichita is case In point
There are six square miles laid out
were merely corn fields worth $50 to 500
per acre now sells readily at from s., 900
to $40, 900 an acre. A year ago the town
contained 10000 people, and Its assessed
valuation of real estate, railroads and per-
sonal property footed up $4114, 534. In
January, the real estate transfers amounted
to 8 total of s., 497, 055, or more than twice
its assessed value Of a few months before
The bank clearings of twenty-five days of
this month amounted to $4,000, 900.
This enormous business kept up
through February and ran on
into March. Street railroads and
cable lines were projected to the surround
ing country, hundreds or new additions
were laid out and a half dozen large col
leges were begun, TO make the coming city
q seat of learning as well as business
Rents doubled, residence property jumped
to many times its value :s prospective
business property, and Spectators
by the thousands focked into Wichita
to buy and sell as widely as It's citizens
themselves The banks coined money on
their deposits and several of those there
had deposits running for a long time as high
as 81 900, 600, though their capital Is
only $1O0, 900 or 500. 0O0 They loaned
money at from 10 to 12 per cent on the
best Of security and during the real estate
boom almost any interest could be gotten.
When property doubled In night and an
investment Of 81 coo often became SIC, 0o0l
In week, no one complained, and the
dollars were IS plenty as the Ksns Is sun
flowers. Today there are nearly IS, 900
people and her citizens confidently rely on
having 80, 000 inhab.tant within a few
years Judicious advertising pays In city
building as well as In personal business

WICHITA REACHING OUT.

The following which appeared as special
dispatch In the Globe Democrat of Friday
contains information of a new enter.
prise In the matter of Wichita's railroad
co INJECTIONS unsurpassed by any that has
hitherto been accomplished: Wichita is
not only reaching out for new territory but
merchants are constantly demanding new
and better facilities for getting goods from
Wichita jobbing houses. As a result Of
this demand, the Atchison, Topeka 6 San
IA Fe hiss decided to not only bill clear
through to Wichita, but will run trains to
and from Wichita over the several branch
es here named, and they will in the near
future put on passenger trains to Wichita
direct over the same line. Their Hume
well branch, their Medicine Lodge branch,
and main line to kiowa, also the Kiowa
extension Of the Southern Kansas. 1t hay
ing been turned over to the Santa Fe.
These include sll Of their system south and
west to Wellington. snd gives Wichita con-
:rol Of the western end Of the Indian Ter
ritory and also the Panhandle of Texas,
which is rapidly developing. The total
mileage to Wichita territory Is over 300,
and three lines are being rapidly extended.
Formerly this freight was handled from
Kansas City.

w1CH1TA's VANTAGE GROUND.
A Revolution Just Inaugurated an
What its Effects Will be.

One Of the ex-governors of Wisconsin
writes as follows to friend of his In WITCH
tia: "a tidal wave Is sweeping the North
west Coast line of the Gulf of Mexica, far
seeing and far-reaching in influences fol
shipping the great food products of the
orth and west to all the markets of the
world
Looking at the map we will see the
present vantage ground of several thou
sands of miles of west and southwest rail-
roads which can be utilized for the benefit
of great trunk lines built, and to be built
as the elements of the hope and courage
for the producers and consumers for cen
turtles to follow.
1t Is not improbable to suppose that the
day is not far distant when we will see the
products of the states lying west of the
Mississippi river being transported south
ward to the gulf of Mexico for shipment to
foreign lands.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road,
in opening their line from Wichita, Kan,
to the port of Galveston, on the gulf. in
augurated a revolution In the trade of the
west which will be so sweeping in its char
acter as to extend from the Mississippi river
to the Pacific ocean west, and from the
Gulf of Mexico to the British Possessions
on the north.
The movements of this road in inaugur-
ating this great change In the carrying trade
of the west are being watched with deep
interest by all the eastern trunk lines, as
well as by the great grain and stock pro-
ducing regions west of the Missouri river.
Their action will be followed by other lines
until an entire change will have been eff
sected in the freight traffic of the west
The eastern trade centers are al
already becoming alarmed at the magnitude
of the advantages to be offered by the
southern route, realizing as they do the
extent to which it may be carried. The
southern outlet being so much shorter and
the Gulf ports, being able to handle the
traffic at times when the eastern ports are
blocked with snow and Ice, Is enough to
give cause for alarm in their direction.
Railway companies and business men
generally will work as they never worked
before to secure every advantage offered
by the new outlet of the west In order to be
In the lead of this great tidal wave
The benefits to be derived from the rev.
olution now taking place in transportation
circles will be of untold value, and the ten
dency will be to develop this great country
faster than ever before and far beyond the
greatest expectations of her people.
We also have reason to believe that the
day is not far distant when foreign immi-
grafton will seek our shores through the
Gulf ports, and Castle Garden, New York,
will be thing of the past.

IN THE LEAD.

The official report of the secretary OF the
state board of agriculture, issued Septem.
Der 10 reached our table yesterday. The re.
port gives the official returns of the popu-
lation Of all the counties In the state and of
all the cities in the state of more than 600
people. Sedgwick county leads all the
counties in the state with a population of
49, 1873, followed first by Leavenworth with
As, 500; second by Shawnee with 46, $50.
Wichita is put at the head of the Lis. of
cities in the state, followed first by Leaven-
worth, second by Topeka and third BY
Kansas City. Kan.
The predictions of the EAGLE, first made
in April, 1872, and repeated q thousand
times since, have at last been realized.

In discussing the political outlook as
relates to the tariff question from Demo
cratic standpoint, an exchange of that faith
remarks that compromises should only be
impossible upon matters Of principle, and
not where the differences to be adjusted are
solely those which arise from the assess
ment and collection of the federal revenue, &"
If there is no principle involved In THE
assessment and collection of the federal
revenues" pray tell us where there Is In
political enestionsH Assessing therevenues
embraces the whole Of the tariff question
and In this Is centered the Fundamental
principles Of protection, not only to the
labor of the country, but affecting every
Industry in the land. Herein lies the dis
tinctive features of the two great parties
and here rests the sctuating principle, upon
which there can be no compromise II the
two extremes of the Democratic party are
able to meet upon q common ground by
one or the other surrendering the principle
mculcated by 1t (which Is not improbable
from recent Developments and 1t should
be In the direction of the improbable
Prsition of the Republican party, all well
and good. but If In the opposite direction

A Democratic exchange remarks that
'your Uncle Joseph Mcdonald says that
he is out of politics, but the sooner he gets
h again the better 1t will be for Indiana"
With all his political vagaries Mr.. Melon
aid has ever been regarded as an honest
man. The truth is, that was why he got
out of politics; he conldn't stand the
corruption with which he was surrounded.
and 1t Is well for him that he got out Of the
politics of his party when he did. The
filth and rottenness of the actions of his
party recently discovered in election mat
ters and its wretched mismansgement of
the affairs of state would have unavoidably
attached to him by force of association. If
Indiana should be afflicted with continu-
alton of Democratic misrule, which Is not
at all likely, the people of the state might
well pray for the return of the few honest
men of McDonald's sort, who were driven
out of that party from disgust at Its
methods, to its councils and control.

The Chicago Times explains the point
upon which the condemned Anarchists
hope to get their case before the
supreme court of the United States to be q
constitutional one, involving the right Of
the state to break open the private desk Of
Spies, one of the defendants, to procure
documentary evidence upon which to con-
vict the accused. On charge Of conspir-
acy, upon which the prisoners were
arraigned and were being tried, we
do not believe that the constitu-
ton contains any provision that would
hhibit the search for evidence neccess-
sary to convict when there Is reasona-
BE grounds to believe such evidence ex.
lists and that Is Is being withheld in de-
fance of the courts mandates and of the
efforts of its officers to obtain, even to the
extent of breaking the house or any other
place wherein such evidence Is believed to
be held. The thread is a very slender one
and the hope suspended upon 1t Is, too,
TO afford much comfort.
